I'm afraid to let you know that's not how it works (sending a bank's money order along with the application)...Read this link throughly, the procedure of how payment must be done at a financial institution is there under the "Fees Receipt" section, point number 2 (this link is for permanent residence spousal applications outside Canada, is that your case?):

If you didn't pay online, then you need to order the IMM 5401 original receipt form from CIC. Once you get it, you can then go to a financial institution and pay the fees. This is what I did because I didn't want to pay online. There are 3 parts to the receipt form. One was for the bank to keep, the second one is your copy, and the third one is to be sent to CIC.

Wait a sec, can't you pay with money order if you are applying Outland?

You need the IMM5401 if you are paying at a Canadian Bank, but is that necessary if you are paying from overseas?

If you are paying from overseas, you can use a money order right?! Neither my spouse nor can pay online so this is how we plan on doing it...Or am I totally off my rocker? Do I need to get a credit card ASAP? :-O

Jacquesvw and sandwish sound like they are in the same situation as I am. I had another thread going on the same topic with no clear answers. If someone is applying to Sponsor their Spouse Outland from outside of Canada with an International Money Draft/Order paid in Canadian funds to a Canadian Bank do they need this IMM5401? It says on the CIC link that you need to have IMM5401 mailed to you if you are Paying at a Financial Institute in Canada. It does not say what to do if you are NOT paying at a financial institute in Canada.

Ok, I sort of answered my own question by clicking on the order link for IMM5401 and it says that the fee receipt can only be delivered to addresses in Canada so that still leaves the question what are applicants supposed to do if they want to pay with a cashier check from outside of Canada?

Maybe I'm being greedy but I was really hoping I could find the answer on this forum...I'm in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and it isn't so easy with phone cards, time difference to get through to CIC. Hopefully, someone knows the answer.
